All profits are distributed to the workshop hosts in an effort to support the craftspeople who generously share these skills with our community.

We strive to pay our instructors and staff fairly for sharing their skills, while at the same time trying to make these events as affordable as possible so these skills can be shared.

We offer flexible pricing based on level of accommodation desired from local commuters, all the way to folks who want a private room. Private room and glamping tents are limited and available on a first come, first serve basis.

Two partial work trade scholarships are available (inquire via email gorgepermaculture@gmail.com)

This is a drug and alcohol free space supporting personal responsibility, and earth care. All attendees are expected to treat themselves, each other and the land with respect and care.

Please pay attention to what you are doing, as well as be aware of what others are doing. 

We reserve the right to ask anyone to leave the land at any time due to inappropriate or disrespectful behavior. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation :)

Meals differ from workshop to workshop- from full catering to provide for yourself.

This is a more relaxed workshop where participants are asked to provide their own breakfasts.

Lunch will be simple sack lunch style with sandwiches and a piece of fruit.

Saturday night will be a group feast with a organic (or GF) pizza night in a wood fired oven.

Guests are encourage to bring their own coolers and non-alcoholiic beverages and snacks.

We strive to serve organic, wholesome food to keep everyone feeling good!

We will have hot water on hand during the day for tea, etc.

There is space for tent camping and vehicle camping, although we do not have hookups. Fresh spring water is available at spigots on the land. We have a portapoddy and an indoor shower.  Please come with everything you need to take care of your sleeping accommodations for yourself and your family. Propane stoves and heaters are okay. This is a pack-it-in, pack-it-out event! We do not provide garbage services for participants. Please take your trash with you and practice "Leave No Trace" at your campsite as well. Thank you :)

Due to the farm animals on the properties, please leave your dogs at home :-)

Every workshop is different, please refer to “schedule” :-)
